A delicate serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, hairline finishing strokes. Serifs are fine and generally bracketed, with tapered terminals that keep the outlines sharp and airy. Proportions feel compact with relatively tall capitals and a restrained x-height, while curves and joins are smooth and controlled for a clean, even texture. The design favors clear vertical stress and careful spacing, producing a polished rhythm in both uppercase and lowercase.
It works well for editorial typography—magazines, book interiors, and cultured long-form settings—especially where a refined, traditional texture is desired. The sharp contrast and fine serifs also make it a strong choice for display uses such as headlines, pull quotes, and formal invitations when set at comfortable sizes.
The overall tone is refined and literary, with an elegant, cultured presence that reads as formal without feeling overly ornate. Its high-contrast detailing and slender serifs suggest a premium, editorial sensibility suited to sophisticated typographic voices.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic text-serif voice with a more fashion-forward, high-contrast finish—balancing traditional construction with a sleek, contemporary refinement for print-oriented typography.
Round letters maintain generous counters and a calm geometry, while features like the two-storey “g” and the bracketed, gently tapered “y” add traditional text-serif character. Numerals are similarly high-contrast and graceful, with noticeable calligraphic shaping in forms like 2, 3, and 7.
